Al-Kifayah Farm- A mini farming project for Orphans at Markaz Nur, Labo-labo, Shariff Aguak, Maguindanao
Markaz Nur is located at Labo-labo, Shariff Aguak, Maguindanao. It was established in 2004 with the help of a Saudi philanthropist. It shelters 32 boys and 25 girls. Currently, 5 teachers take care of the orphans for a monthly salary of P2500 or RM185. According to them, since the markaz's opening in 2004, they never received any assistance whatsoever from any organization whether government or NGO.
